Excitement & Tedium... Making a movie.

When you're making a movie, things can go from incredibly exciting to downright tedious really quick. There is a lot of waiting around, before you can get to all the good stuff. Same with post. We have finished the first "Act" of the movie, and are going back through to adjust the audio so that it all matches, etc. Its all very necessary, but very tedious... And again, I am learning on the job.

But anyway, I've watched what we have of the movie several times, but today was the first time that I just watched it straight through and just watched instead of working on it... and I really like the movie. More, I am proud of it.

We are working on a full length, theatrical trailer now. I know that some of you may be confused at to what the movie is all about. Is it a horror? Comedy? Drama? Porn? If you've just been relying on the pictures, or the teaser trailer, I can understand why you would be confused. One of the things I am looking to do with this trailer is to give you all a taste of what this movie really is. After assembling some scenes for it (including some scenes we haven't edited yet), I am really happy with what the final product will be. In fact, I am so happy that below you will find some stills from the trailer. It is really exciting to see all of this footage come together. It makes all the stress and tedium that went along with the movie disappear.

Also, I get asked a lot: "When can I see the movie? Can I see it now?" No, you can't. The movie is not ready yet. We are working on it night & day (seriously, I am forgetting what sleep is like), and are creating the best possible movie that we can. Like I said before, 40 minutes are edited, and we are adjusting that to make sure it is polished before we jump ahead to the rest. I don't know when we will be done... I can tell you that I HOPE to have a first cut of the film finished prior to the end of 2010. Whether that is in November or December, I don't know... and it may take longer... But stay tuned to this blog, for information on future screenings.

The trailer, on the other hand, should be available within the next few weeks.

Stay tuned!
